Like I said in the other thread, not really seeing it with Givens. Also not sure how he hits in, unless he’s a developmental end of the bench guy who’s not really in the rotation.

Did you expect a 13 man rotation? What aren’t you seeing?

He’s a year removed from being a top 100 player out of high school and got invaluable experience playing in the toughest league in the country.

Splits aside, he’d probably be our 4th or 5th guy off the bench right now, and we still have spots to fill. You take a kid like this all day as a fringe rotation guy and 3 years to play.

Deepest Canes team I've ever seen was probably the 2014-15 team or the 2015-16 team and both went 9-10 deep. 2017-18 team might have went 9 deep as well. The past several years we have been at a 7-8 man rotation. **Strictly referencing a healthy rotation playing 10+ min per game.

Minus another rotational big man that likely hovers right around 10 min per, I would guess anyone in that category is already on the roster and we'll be an 8 man rotation, 9 if there's another quality big that can be added, which doesn't look very likely.

1. Donaldson, 2. Washington, 3. Henderson, 4. Reneau, 5. Udeh, 6th. Malovec, 7th. D Allen, 8th. M Allen 9th. TBD - Rotational Big, & 10-13 Kee and other developmental pieces.

When you're building a roster from literal zero, gonna have to take a shot on some developmental guys. This is one. The shooting splits were laughable last year. Can only get better I suppose.

How can you shoot under 60% from the FT line as a guard? HOW?

We need 13 players. Have to practice. Not every kid is going to be a star. Lucas knows what he is doing. 13 starters aren’t coming.

Bruh what? Yes, he didn’t have overwhelming volume, but it’s not like he didn’t shoot a fair number. As a guard, those are dreadful percentages. I haven’t played organized basketball in decades, I could still consistently shoot high 70s(I was mid 80s in HS and that’s with significant volume). Terrible FT shooters either aren’t putting in the work, or have serious vision problems.

Bruh, you gotta learn to decipher the Bruh,

. I'm agreeing with you. "Bruh" (with no punctuation) would be far different than "Bruh.....". Bruh.... in this instance, means that "I'm as perplexed and put off as you are, at a Guard that we are recruiting, that is shooting that poorly from the foul line." Like wtf?! Is he closing his eyes and throwing that ***** up there? That translation is slightly different from "Bruh!!!" (with exclamation marks) which means "Preach that ****, homie!" Hope I cleared that up for you. Sorry about the confusion.

I'll try to do better next time.

Fantastic explanation. We need an online CIS dictionary. This would definitely be an entry.
